Canadian Politics

Canada Day

Canada Day is a most excellent holiday. The weather is always perfect. You have complete freedom to do whatever
you want. You don’t have to eat any special food. You don’t have to buy any gifts. You don’t have
to go anywhere. You don’t have to visit anyone. You don’t have to pretend you are proud your ancestors
beat the crap out of some other nation. There are some traditions developing like getting drunk, face painting and
honking car horns, but these are still not mandatory.

Inappropriate Taser Use

The fact that Tasers are being used in situations that border on debt collection by the government is
outrageous. The public has every right to be concerned that there is a lack of proper control over the use and
application of these devices. A full investigation is required.

~ Rob Holmes
, President BCCLA (British Columbia Civil Liberties Association), on the use of Tasers on people with expired bus
transfers.
